A SIM card is not required to activate a Blackberry Storm however; if you planned on using the device overseas, a SIM card would be necessary.

A SIM card can be purchased for the Blackberry Storm at any Verizon Wireless direct retail store.

If you need to find the nearest Verizon Wireless direct retail store, I have provided our store locator below:

I hope this information was helpful.

I think Verizon employees must all get the same set of macros.....

 

And to the OP - be sure it is branded Verizon and will work on Verizon's network.  If it is a phone that needs the SIM card and is a GSM phone, it will not work on Verizon's network.  As the employees stated, the only time Verizon phones will use a SIM card is overseas.

Hi,

I took my Sim card out of my Blackberry Bold after I bought it.  That shows you how much you need it.  Nada.
